Background: Data on Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) use in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are limited. Furthermore, Absorb studies including STEMI patients lacked a prespecified implantation technique to optimize BVS deployment. This study examines the 5-year outcomes of BVS in STEMI patients using an optimized implantation strategy and the impact of prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT).

The optimal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat them is unknown. We aim to clarify the effect of different CPAP levels on lung aeration and gas exchange in patients with RDS and TTN.
